Junk yards, driving, rain and spiders.

So, last Friday I picked up my spring rebuild kit for the VW since they didn't have any in stock. Saturday, I went to Interstate Used Parts and they had a great selection of VW parts. I picked up a gas tank, front Baja bumper, steering block, pedal assembly and two tires (w/ no tread) for $125. Good stuff, he gave me a deal and said the next time I came in he would hook me up, provided, I bring in a brochure and slap a sticker on the car with his company logo on it. I got back fairly late in the afternoon and proceeded to get the brakes all set. The drums, I had taken to a shop to get machined but they were too far out of spec that I need to get new ones. So, another thing to order. It rained all Sunday so I couldn't work on the deathtrap. Thats where I am at now. I will be ordering more parts tonight and thinking about what else needs to be ordered. NEED the brochure finished. Might just make it myself.
